Formed in swinging '60s London, Pentangle were one of the most exciting and innovative groups in the world, genuinely pushing boundaries and exploring new musical avenues. Simultaneously stars of the underground and darlings of the mainstream, they enjoyed an unprecedented degree of worldwide success for an acoustic band and their influence and musical impact is still revered and relevant today.

I saw them at the Albert Hall in 1968 (cover of Basket of Light time) and enjoyed them immensely. I still play an arrangement of Once I Had a Sweetheart that is based pretty much entirely on that version.
